Mon. Welcome back from break! Students took notes on SATIRE in Joyce's Dubliners.
Tues. Today we reviewed the final and read Joyce's short story "A Mother".
Wed. Students wrote their reactions to two characters: Mrs. Kearney and Hoppy Holohan. We focused on the characters as being part of a larger satire. In this case, Irish mothers and "public life" seem to be satirized. Much vigorous discussion followed, centering largely around Mrs. Kearney's control issue and Hoppy's game leg.
